ASURAN ( Movie in my own words)

 ASURAN


Shivmani

Spouse: Pallavi

Son: Durgamani ( elder)

        : Chintamani ( younger)

Daughter: Rani


This movie is the saga of brutal exploitation of tenants, peasants, sharecroppers by landlords/Zamindar/Poligar. 

 This movie is the sacrifice of a father who changes to that extent for his family, no one can even imagine. This movie shows the socio-political, socio-economical conditions of our country after independence,( 1960's decade ) where Zamindars continued to exploit tenants, peasants and ryots.

          A person named Shivmani, had two sons, one daughter, his spouse and brother in law. It was routine affair that the tussles broke out between landlord and tenants for sake of trivial issues like non-payment of interest on proper time which is very high and unjustifiable. 

            One day Pallavi fallout with the son and sole lickers of a landlord, they were extracting water via motor pump, but, Pallavi said that, no water would be left for their field, coz she used to draw water for irrigating their field from well which were in their field. On this petty thing, they thrashed Pallavi. When her elder son came to know, then, he arrived there in no time, and, beaten everyone very mercilessly, because he could have tolerated to be beaten rather than her mother. Parents respect are the pride of the sons and daughters.

             This matter went very long as the landlord wanted to be take the revenge of his son's who was mercilessly beaten by Durgamani. Durgamani got arrested by the police because it is very easy for some corrupt police officials to stake their honesty and integrity for the sake satisfying their lust of monetary benefits. Durgamani was beaten ruthlessly, tortured severely to the inhumane extent. When Sivmani pleaded to landlord then he asked Shivmani to fall in the feet of every elite landlord of the village. Unfortunately, a hapless father, for the sake of his son did this.

           Durgamani got exonerated from jail. When he came home, his younger brother told Durgamani that what their father had to do for get him relieved from bars. He just got out of head, went directly to the house of landowner by crossing the talk walls surrounding landlord's house, and beaten him with his slippers and asked him to tell that go and tell everyone that I was beaten by the person of low caste by slippers. 

            Landlord in order to quench the thirst of anger which was getting more and more with time by killing Durgamani, and birfucated head and torso. On the next day, Durgamani found dogs eating the corpse of his beloved son. He was completely broke down, her wife got unconscious after looking at her dead son. ( According to me, all these things show that landlords who were rich used to think that the poor, Dalits, person of low castes had no human right and dignity).  

      Let's come back to story. Pallavi was completely shocked by this incident and had lost to live her life. She was so traumatized that it was not digestible for her that her son was no more. So, it became unbearable for her son Chintamani to see her mother in such a miserable and pathetic condition. He got killed the landowner. When, Shivmani came to know this, he was just puzzled and numbed for a while. He told Pallavi to go to the home of his friend and Sivmani departed with his son Chintamani in order to get escaped from caught by the sole lickers of the landowners relatives. Chintamani used to think and ashamed of his father that how could his father fell before the feet of every landowner. He used to think that his father is a coward and chicken hearted person. ( From here story goes into past which was filled with the events of valour, bravery, adamant behaviour and power to transcend every colossal obstacle in no time etc of Shivmani).
